Assistance for U.S. Science Activities in ANDRILL

ANDRILL是一项国际科学钻探计划，旨在为南极洲周围的大陆边缘沉积物取芯。该计划的目标是确定南极洲冰盖和冰架的行为；获取从最近的过去到数千万年前的全球气候记录；了解这个复杂而活跃地区的构造、生物和火山活动。该奖项支持联合海洋学机构（JOI）为两个钻孔中的每一个选择科学方。JOI在国际海洋钻探项目中也采用了类似的流程。整个ANDRILL项目的更广泛影响包括正规和非正规教育、新的研究基础设施、各种形式的合作，以及提高社会对全球气候变化的理解。该奖项将确保以公平的方式挑选科学家，并在选择科学家时考虑到多样性等重要的更广泛的影响。

ANDRILL is an international scientific drilling program to core continental margin sediments around Antarctica. The Program's goals are to determine the behavior of Antarctica's ice sheets and ice shelves; to obtain global climate records from the very recent past to tens of millions of years ago; and to understand tectonic, biologic, and volcanic activity in this complex and active region. This award supports the Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOI) to run the process for selection of the scientific party for each of the two drill holes. JOI runs a similar process for the International Ocean Drilling Program.The broader impacts of the overall ANDRILL project include formal and informal education, new research infrastructure, various forms of collaboration, and improving society's understanding of global climate change. This award will ensure that the scientific party is picked in a fair manner, and that important broader impacts such as diversity are considered in scientist selection.
